Palestinian journalist Rula Jebreal took heat from black lawmakers Friday after she referred to House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY) as an “AIPAC monkey.”
Jebreal used the racial epithet during an appearance on lefty commentator Wajahat Ali’s “The Left Hook” podcast, as she criticized the black Democrat’s support for Israel and accused him of doing the bidding of the American Israeli Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC).
“His name is Hakeem. ‘Hakeem’ is an Arabic name which means ‘healer.’ He’s not a healer, he’s a divider,” Jebreal raged.
“He is a bought and paid by AIPAC monkey,” she continued. “With all due respect — and I don’t mean it in a racist way.”
“He is just basically an errand boy, and we’re done and tired,” Jebreal said.
After Jabreal’s rant, Ali interjected to note that using the term “monkey” has “terrible racial connotations … but I think you caught yourself and said you didn’t mean it with any racial animosity.”
Jabreal attempted to clarify: “There are these three monkeys – one, I cannot hear, I cannot see, I cannot speak – it reminds me of these three monkeys.”
The Congressional Black Caucus (CBC) rejected Jebreal’s defense.
“To be clear, there isn’t a non-racist way to call Leader Jeffries—a Black man—a ‘monkey’ or ‘errand boy,’” the group posted on X.

What's next?
Hamas social worker?
She could have just called him a “dime-store Obama”. I hear he likes to be called that.

Hakeem Jeffries is married to hyphenated Kennisandra Arciniegas-Jeffries, a social worker. The couple married in 1997 and share two sons, Jeremiah and Joshua. They live in Brooklyn, New York.
That’s despicable. She owes monkeys an apology.
“Monkey”? “Errand boy”?
That’s a howler!
“ monkey.” — bad. Let me rephrase: “errand boy”
lol…keep digging!
The congressional black caucus is anti-Palestinian. THAT’S rayciss!
Why wouldn’t a hater of Jewish people also hate black people? The tent of hate.
That’s odd...they look so normal.
well done
And healers too. <

Ray-cist!
Regards,
Poor guy. He’s got Hakeem’s ears. Not that I’m suggesting anything.
“The Congressional Black Caucus”…this is racist and needs to end
I wonder if Rula’s life and entire career will be destroyed by the left the way Roseanne’s was because of her comment about Valerie Jarrett.
“Hakeem’ is an Arabic name which means ‘healer.’ He’s not a healer, he’s a divider,” Jebreal raged.”
Well, she’s not wrong
I prefer ‘AIPAC Shakur’.
